The most beautiful voice she had ever heard echoed in her mind, and a clear tear slipped uncontrollably from the corner of Heavenly Mountain Child Elder's eye.
She knew that this sort of reflection upon one's life at the end of it was called... a final flash of brilliance!
Who would have thought that after fighting Li Qiushui, that bitch, for an entire lifetime—resenting her for an entire lifetime, hating her for an entire lifetime—it would all end like this... Wait, no!
Suddenly, Heavenly Mountain Child Elder realized that she was in the middle of a battle. She was fighting a life-and-death duel against two formidable juniors!
How could I possibly lose focus so completely in the middle of a fight?
Could it be...
In an instant, Heavenly Mountain Child Elder understood the key to it all.
It was the unfinished saber intent that that stinking girl had displayed during their earlier battle!
What a terrifying little girl. What terrifying saber techniques!
In truth, Heavenly Mountain Child Elder's judgment was entirely correct. The source of the illusions she experienced was precisely the final layer of Dao Mei's "Heaven's Will is Like a Saber" saber intent—Years!
Although her "Heaven's Will is Like a Saber" had originated from the Heavenly Saber, its main focus was the human heart. It combined her saber techniques with the hypnotic effects of the Soul Shifting Great Method. With a single slash, it could make an opponent experience corresponding illusions. When paired with the killing intent within the saber intent, it even surpassed the limitations of sight, leaving people impossible to guard against.
This move contained four layers of saber intent: "Calamity of Arms," "Deluge," "Earth Dragon," and "Years."
Heavenly Mountain Child Elder had lived for ninety years and had long since witnessed every sort of catastrophe
